The Shaw brochure tells us: "
What happens when one of the 20th centuryÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s most celebrated playwrights takes on one of the most revered novelists of the 19th century? A thrilling alchemy occurs, producing a humorous, elegiac drama that reveals the complex emotional entanglements that bind a family to its friends and retainers. At the centre is the magnetic Natalya, who spins from her adoring husband to her faithful lover to her sonÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s desperately attractive young tutor, sending all around her into a state of midsummer madness!

Brian FrielÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s humour and empathy highlight TurgenevÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s unerring portrait of the rueful absurdities of love, marriage, family and the whole damn thing."

Will you like this play? Professional reviews are available online and in the media once the show is officially open. However, in our experience, many critics often write reviews that do not match at all with the reaction of our guests.

So, for a more candid reaction, we are asking for comments and reviews from the people who visit us! Jane and I go to all the plays and we will post as soon as we have attended. You too can post your overall rating about the play on a scale of 0 to 4 stars, along with any comments you may have.
